The Mill School is a new independent middle school and high school in Essex Junction, Vermont which offers some of the most progressive and effective approaches to reach and teach students in a positive way. We prepare learners for life... no matter what. We provide an open, caring and positive environment for young people so they can learn to become the people they hope to be. We treat every student with dignity and respect. We listen to students and behave in ways that let them know that they've been heard. We collaborate with students to make plans and achieve outcomes that are important to them. We work through the hard stuff cooperatively and thoughtfully. We are relentlessly optimistic.
